Arm and Hammer (III 5.10- A0),
Middle Bell Tower,
Bells Canyon

Arm and Hammer is hands-down one of the Wasatch’s absolutely classic lines. Located just past West Bell Tower, this aptly named formation is the middle of three prominent granite towers (or “bells”) that flank the north side of this textbook glacial valley.
Arm and Hammer houses one of the wildest and greatest 5.8 pitches anywhere — the Zion Curtain, a paper-thin granite sheet that’s more of a tear in the stone than a flake proper. The pitch is protected at its top and bottom by a single bolt in each locale; gear on this 60-foot layback pitch is optional — there are no guarantees that it (or the Zion Curtain) will hold. Think “light” as you savor the deep tenor boom of this funky feature, which comes to life as you gingerly bump and prod your way upward.
Next, you’ll be served a fine selection of thin slab climbing, fingerlocks, hand jams, and chicken wings on the remaining two ropelengths. Two tension traverses — one at the start of pitch two, the other at the beginning of pitch three (which access the Zion Curtain) — give the route its A0 rating, but hardpersons can tick it free at 5.11c.
